6 SN EC600 - RS2 03/03/ :31 Page 6 Be Safe - Not Sorry When you are cooking, keep children away from the vicinity of the appliance. This product is designed as a domestic cooking appliance for the preparation and cooking of domestic food products, and should not be used for any other purpose. Remove all packaging, protective films and oils from the appliance before using for the first time. Make sure you read and understand the instructions before using the appliance. Keep electrical leads short so they do not drape over the appliance or the edge of the worktop. Keep all flammable materials (such as curtains, furnishings & clothing) away from the appliance. Parts of the appliance may be hot during or immediately after use. Care should be taken to avoid touching heating elements inside the oven. Allow sufficient time for the appliance to cool after switching off. Never use the appliance for heating a room. Do not drape tea towels over the flue vents or doors, as this creates a fire hazard. When opening the appliance door, take care to avoid skin contact with any steam which may escape from the cooking. Do not use aluminium foil to cover the grill pan, or put items wrapped in foil under the grill as this creates a fire hazard. The high reflectivity can also damage the element. Do not use the oven with the door inner glass panel removed (glass oven doors only). Use oven gloves when removing hot food / dishes from the oven or grill. The oven / grill and utensils will be very hot when in use. Do not use foil on oven shelves, or allow it to block the oven flue, as this creates a fire hazard and prevents heat circulation. When cooking heavy items - eg; turkeys - do not pull the oven shelf out with the item still on the shelf. Switch off the electricity supply before replacing the oven light bulb (if fitted), to avoid the risk of electric shock. Warning: This appliance must be earthed. When you have finished cooking check that all controls are in the off position. 4

7 SN EC600 - RS2 03/03/ :31 Page 7 Using the Hob Caution: Do not use the hob if the glass is cracked, as electrical parts are directly beneath. To avoid the possibility of electric shock, turn off the electricity supply to the hob at the socket and arrange a Service call. Before using the hob for the first time Before using the hob for the first time, we recommend that you apply a thin coating of cleaner conditioner - eg; Hob Brite by Homecare*, and polish the surface with a clean dry cloth. Follow the instructions given in the cleaning section. * Homecare products are available mail order To switch on the hob Turn the hotplate selected control clockwise to the required setting. To switch off, return to the off position. The hot hob light The hot hob light comes on when one of the hotplates is switched on, and stays on for a short while after the last hotplate is switched off to indicate that the hob may still be warm. Important: Do not use the ceramic glass hob as a work surface or chopping board, as it will damage it, and if any plastic utensils come into contact with a warm hob, they may melt onto it. Do not use the ceramic hotplate surface for storage. As pans are on a smooth surface, they will move easily if knocked accidentally; turning pan handles so they are not overhanging the edge of the hob, will help prevent this happening, and keep them out of the reach of children. Be careful when cooking foods in salted water, or foods containing large amounts of sugar or syrup, if they are spilt onto hot areas of the hob they may damage it. Use pans which are large enough to avoid overflows onto the ceramic glass hob. Lift pans onto and off the hob, rather than sliding them across the surface, to avoid marks and scratches. Aluminium foil must not be placed on the hob as it will reflect any heat back into the element, which can damage it. Leaving a hotplate on for a length of time, without it being covered by a pan, can cause overheating of surrounding areas which could damage the glass. 5

8 SN EC600 - RS2 03/03/ :31 Page 8 Using the Hob Using the hotplate / choice of pans When cooking with fat or oil, never leave unattended. Do not use double pans, rim based pans, old misshapen pans or any pan which is unstable when placed on a flat surface. Turn pan handles to a safe position, so they are out of reach of children, not overhanging the appliance, and cannot be caught accidentally. Use pans with a flat base of minimum 100mm / 4ins diameter and maximum 280mm / 11ins diameter which are stable in use. Pan bases that are much smaller or much larger than the hotplate - eg; by 50mm - will result in slower cooking times. Commercial simmering aids should not be used as they create excessive temperatures that can damage the surface and may cause a hazard. When buying new pans, always refer to the pan manufacturer s guidelines. For best results and energy efficiency it is important to use flat bottomed pans of the correct type, especially on ceramic glass hobs. Always use pans which are large enough to prevent spillage, especially for deep frying, making jam or cooking with sugar or syrup based substances. Trivets, round based woks, heat diffuser pads and over-sized pans are not recommended. Avoid using double pans, or old misshapen pans which are unstable and dangerous. Cast iron, stainless steel, or enamelled steel pans are all suitable for use on ceramic glass and solid plate hobs. Aluminium pans will give good cooking results but care must be taken in their use. If they are slid across the surface of a ceramic hob they tend to leave visible marks which can be difficult to remove. Certain types of copper based pans may become slightly concave when heated, which can result in slower cooking times. Pan bases should be thick, flat and smooth, to ensure maximum heat contact with the hob, maximum heat conduction and rapid cooking times. Pans with dull or dark coloured bases will give the quickest cooking results. Pans with thin, dented or ridge bases can result in very slow cooking times and should not be used. Certain makes / brands of pressure cookers may not be suitable for use on ceramic hobs - they do not come to pressure. Stainless steel pressure cookers will give optimum results. Pans with highly polished bases reflect heat back into the hob causing the ceramic hob hotplate to cycle on and off rapidly, which slows down cooking. The right size of pan base will ensure maximum contact with the hob and rapid cooking times. When you have finished cooking check that all controls are in the off position. 6

9 SN EC600 - RS2 03/03/ :31 Page 9 Using the Grill Caution: Accessible parts may be hot when grill is used, young children should be kept away. To switch on the grill Open the grill door. Turn the top oven control knob fully clockwise to the grill symbol. The grill door must be fully open when grill is used. To switch off, return the control knob to the off position. Detachable grill pan handle Place the handle over the edge of the grill pan. The handle should be removed from the pan during grilling, to prevent overheating. The handle is designed for removing / inserting the grill pan under the grill when grilling. If cleaning the grill pan when it is hot, use oven gloves to move it. Do not use the handle to pour hot fats from the grill pan. Preheating Always preheat the grill for about 3 minutes for best cooked results. The cooling fan When the grill is switched on, you will hear the cooling fan come on - this keeps the fascia and control knobs of the appliance cool during grilling only. The fan will continue to operate for a period after the grill control has been switched off. handle grill pan trivet Grill pan trivet Food for grilling should be placed within the area defined by the kinks in the trivet wires. 7

10 SN EC600 - RS2 03/03/ :31 Page 10 Using the Grill Grilling Grilling may be adjusted by changing the grill pan trivet position, as detailed below. There are three different grilling positions, as the grill trivet - which is in the grill pan - may be inverted to give a high or low position or the trivet may be removed. 1. The HIGH trivet position is suitable for toasting bread. 2. The LOW trivet position is suitable for grilling all types of meat and fish. 3. With the grill trivet removed the food is placed directly on the base of the grill pan - eg; when cooking whole fish or browning dishes such as cauliflower cheese. Grilling can also be adjusted by placing the shelf at a different position. Aluminium foil Using aluminium foil to cover the grill pan, or putting items wrapped in foil under the grill creates a fire hazard, and the high reflectivity may damage the grill element. 8

11 SN EC600 - RS2 03/03/ :31 Page 11 Using the Top Oven Accessible parts may be hot when the oven is used. Young children should be kept away. Important: Never put items directly on the base of the oven with foil, as this may cause the element to overheat. Always position items on the shelf. Caution: The top element gets extremely hot when in use, so take extra care to avoid touching it. To turn on the top oven Turn the top oven / grill control knob to the required temperature setting. The red thermostat indicator (if fitted) will come on until the selected temperature is reached and then go off; it will turn on and off periodically as the thermostat operates to maintain the selected temperature. To switch off, return the control knob to the off position. Preheating the top oven The oven must be preheated when cooking frozen or chilled foods, and we recommend preheating for yeast mixtures, batters, soufflés and whisked sponges. Preheat the oven until the indicator light switches off for the first time - this will take up to 20 minutes depending on the temperature selected. If you are not preheating the oven, the cooking times in the baking guide may need to be extended, as they are based on a preheated oven. When using the top oven As part of the cooking process, hot air is expelled through a vent at the top of the oven(s). When opening the oven door, care should be taken to avoid any possible contact with potentially hot air, since this may cause discomfort to people with sensitive skin. We recommend that you hold the underneath of the oven door handle. Top heat / base heat settings The top oven offers the advantage that it can be used with either base heat only or top heat only, which are fixed heat settings. Top heat only ( T or ) Turn the top oven control past the oven temperature markings to the top heat symbol. This setting can be used to brown the top of dishes such as cauliflower cheese or baked alaska. Base heat only ( B or ) Turn the top oven control past the oven temperature markings to the base heat symbol. This setting can be used to finish cooking pastry bases, pies, pizzas etc. The cooling fan When the top oven is switched on, you will hear the cooling fan come on - this keeps the fascia and control knobs of the appliance cool during cooking only. The fan will continue to operate for a period after the oven control has been switched off. 9

12 SN EC600 - RS2 03/03/ :31 Page 12 Using the Top Oven Top oven baking guide Cooking times These times are based on cooking in a preheated oven. These cooking times are approximate, because the size and type of cooking dish will influence time as personal preferences. Shelf positions As a general guide, when cooking frozen or chilled food, use the highest possible shelf position, while allowing some clearance between the food and the top element. Follow the instructions given on packaging. Cooking temperatures The temperature settings and time given in the Baking Guides are based on dishes made with block margarine. If soft tub margarine is used, it may be necessary to reduce the temperature setting. If a recipe gives a different temperature setting to that shown in the guide, the recipe instruction should be followed. Because the top oven is more compact, it may be necessary to reduce cooking temperatures specified in recipes by up to 20 C. Use the baking guide as a reference for determining which temperatures to use. Item Temperature Shelf Approximate C position cooking time Small cakes 180 middle mins Victoria sandwich 160 middle mins (2 x 180mm / 7 ) Swiss roll 200 middle 8-12 mins Semi rich fruit cake 140 bottom hours (180mm x 7 ) Scones 215 top mins Meringues top 2-3 hours Shortcrust pastry middle Depends on size & Puff / flaky pastry middle type of cooking dish Choux pastry middle & also the filling Biscuits top mins Sponge pudding 150 middle mins Milk pudding 140 bottom hours 10

13 SN EC600 - RS2 03/03/ :31 Page 13 Using the Main Oven Accessible parts may be hot when the oven is used. Young children should be kept away. To switch on the oven Turn the oven control knob clockwise to the required setting. The red thermostat indicator (if fitted) will come on until the selected temperature is reached and then go off; it will turn on and off periodically as the thermostat operates to maintain the selected temperature. To switch off, return the control knob to the off position. Preheating The oven must be preheated when cooking frozen or chilled foods, and we recommend preheating for yeast mixtures, batters, soufflés and whisked sponges. Preheat the oven until the indicator light (if fitted) switches off for the first time, this will take up to 20 minutes, depending on the temperature selected. If you are not preheating the oven, the cooking times in the following guide may need to be extended, as they are based on a preheated oven. When using the oven As part of the cooking process, hot air is expelled through a vent at the top of the oven(s). When opening the oven door, care should be taken to avoid any possible contact with potentially hot air, since this may cause discomfort to people with sensitive skin. We recommend that you hold the underneath of the oven door handle. 11

14 SN EC600 - RS2 03/03/ :31 Page 14 Using the Main Oven Oven shelves The oven shelf must be positioned with the upstand at the rear of the oven and facing upwards. Position baking trays and roasting tins on the middle of the shelves, and leave one clear shelf position between shelves, to allow for circulation of heat. Baking tray and roasting tins For best cooked results and even browning, the maximum size baking trays and roasting tins that should be used are as follows; Baking tray 350mm x 280mm This size of baking tray will hold up to 20 small cakes. Roasting tin 370mm x 320mm We recommend that you use good quality cookware. Poor quality trays and tins may warp when heated, leading to uneven baking results. Slow cooking Make sure that frozen foods are thoroughly THAWED before cooking. Do not slow cook joints of meat or poultry weighing more than 2 1 4kg / 4 1 2lb. For roasting joints of meat or poultry, and for pot roasts preheat the oven to 190 C and cook for 30 minutes, then adjust the oven control to the 110 C C (slow setting) for the remainder of the cooking time. Slow cooking times will be about 3 times as long as conventional cooking times. 12

15 SN EC600 - RS2 03/03/ :31 Page 15 Using the Main Oven Cooking with a fanned oven If you are used to cooking with a conventional oven you will find a number of differences to cooking with a fan oven which will require a different approach: There are no zones of heat in a fan oven as the convection fan at the back of the oven ensures an even temperature throughout the oven. This makes it ideal for batch baking - eg; when planning a party or stocking the freezer - as all the items will be cooked within the same length of time. Foods are cooked at a lower temperature (between 10 C and 20 C lower) than a conventional oven, so conventional recipe temperature may have to be reduced. Preheating is generally not necessary as a fan oven warms up quickly. There is no flavour transference in a fan oven, which means you can cook strong smelling foods such as fish at the same time as mild foods - eg; milk puddings. When batch baking foods that will rise during cooking - eg; bread - always ensure that enough space has been left between the shelves to allow for the rise. Notes: When 2 or more shelves are being used, it may be necessary to increase the cooking time slightly. Because the 2 oven shelves are wider than in many ovens, it is possible to cook 2 items per shelf - eg; 2 victoria sandwiches or 2 casseroles. Although you need to keep in mind the points To help the air circulate freely with careful choice of dishes and tins, it is possible to cook a complete meal, and perhaps something else for the freezer, in the oven at the same time. When roasting meats, you will notice that fat splashing is reduced, which is due in part to the lower oven temperatures, and will help keep cleaning of the oven to a minimum. Because a fan oven has an even temperature throughout the oven, there is no need to follow the shelf positions given in the baking guide. There is no need to interchange dishes onto different shelves part way through cooking, as with a conventional oven. To help the air circulate freely Position the shelves evenly within the oven and maintain a clearance from the oven roof and base. If more than one cooking dish or baking tray is to be used on a shelf, leave a gap of at least 25mm between the items themselves and the oven interior. Allow enough space between shelves for food that will rise during cooking. Do not place items on the oven base as this will prevent air circulating freely. 13

16 SN EC600 - RS2 03/03/ :31 Page 16 Using the Main Oven Defrosting and cooling in the main oven To defrost frozen foods, turn the main oven control to the defrost position, place the food in the centre of the oven and close the door. To cool foods after cooking prior to refrigerating or freezing, turn the main oven control to the defrost position and open the door. Defrosting times Small or thin pieces of frozen fish or meat - eg; fish filets, prawns & mince will take approximately 1-2 hours. Placing the food in a single layer will reduce the thawing time. A medium sized casserole or stew will take approximately 3-4 hours. A 1 1 2kg / 3lb oven ready chicken will take approximately 5 hours, remove the giblets as soon as possible. Be safe Do not defrost stuffed poultry using this method. Do not defrost larger joints of meat and poultry over 2kg / 4lb using this method. Never place uncooked food for defrosting next to cooked food which is to be cooled, as this can lead to cross contamination. Defrosting meat, poultry, and fish can be accelerated using this method but make sure they are completely thawed before cooking thoroughly. Place meat and poultry on a trivet in a meat tin. 14

If soft tub margarine is used it may be necessary to reduce the temperature setting. If a recipe gives a different temperature setting to that shown in the guide, the recipe instruction should be followed. The times given in the baking guide are based on cooking in a preheated oven. Aluminium foil Use foil only to cover food or cooking dishes, using foil to cover the shelves or oven base creates a fire hazard. 15

18 SN EC600 - RS2 03/03/ :31 Page 18 Using the Ovens Traditional fruit cakes It should be remembered that ovens can vary over time, therefore cooking times can vary, making it difficult to be precise when baking fruit cakes. It is necessary therefore, to test the cake before removal from the oven. Use a fine warmed skewer inserted into the centre of the cake. If the skewer comes out clean, then the cake is cooked. Do not attempt to make Christmas cakes larger than the oven can cope with, you should allow at least 25mm (1 inch) space between the oven walls and the tin. Always follow the temperatures recommended in the recipe. To protect a very rich fruit cake during cooking, tie 2 layers of brown paper around the tin. We recommend that the cake tin is not stood on layers of brown paper, as this can hinder effective circulation of air. Do not use soft tub margarine for rich fruit cakes, unless specified in the recipe. Always use the correct size and shape of tin for the recipe quantities. Roast turkey Roasting turkey involves cooking two different types of meat - the delicate light breast meat, which must not be allowed to dry out, and the darker leg meat, which takes longer to cook. The turkey must be roasted long enough for the legs to cook, so frequent basting is necessary. The breast meat can be covered once browned. Always make sure that the turkey is completely thawed and that the giblets are removed before cooking. Turkey should be roasted at 170 C C for 20 minutes per lb, plus 20 minutes, unless packaging advises otherwise. The turkey can be open roasted, breast side down, for half of the cook time, and then turned over for the remainder of the cooking time. If the turkey is stuffed, add 5 minutes per 1lb to the cooking time. If roasting turkey covered with foil, add 5 minutes per 1lb to the cooking time. To test if the turkey is cooked, push a fine skewer into the thickest part of the thigh. If the juices run clear, the turkey is cooked. If the juices are still pink, the turkey will need longer cooking. 16

19 SN EC600 - RS2 03/03/ :31 Page 19 Using the Ovens Roasting guide The times given in the roasting guide are only approximate, because the size and age of the bird will influence cooking times as will the shape of a joint and the proportion of the bone. Frozen meat should be thoroughly thawed before cooking. For large joints it is advisable to thaw overnight. Frozen poultry should be thoroughly thawed before cooking. The time required depends on the size of the bird - eg; a large turkey may take up to 48 hours to thaw. Use of a trivet with a roasting tin will reduce fat splashing and will help to keep the oven interior clean. Alternatively, to help reduce fat splashing, potatoes or other vegetables can be roasted around the meat / poultry. Notes: When cooking stuffed meat or poultry calculate the cooking time from the total weight of the meat plus the stuffing. For joints cooked in foil or covered roasters, and for lidded casseroles, add 5 minutes per 450g (1lb) to the calculated cooking time. Smaller joints weighing less than 1.25kg (2 1 2lb) may require 5 minutes per 450g (1lb) extra cooking time. Position the oven shelf so that the meat or poultry will be in the centre of the oven. It is recommended that the appliance is cleaned after open roasting. Cook in oven at: 180 C - Main Oven (Fanned) 200 C - Top Oven (Conventional) Approximate Cooking Time (preheated oven) Beef Rare 20 minutes per 450g (1lb), plus 20 minutes Medium 25 minutes per 450g (1lb), plus 20 minutes Well done 30 minutes per 450g (1lb), plus 30 minutes Lamb Medium 25 minutes per 450g (1lb), plus 25 minutes Well done 30 minutes per 450g (1lb), plus 30 minutes Pork Poultry 35 minutes per 450g (1lb), plus 35 minutes 20 minutes per 450g (1lb), plus 20 minutes 17

21 SN EC600 - RS2 03/03/ :31 Page 21 Cleaning Caution: Any cleaning agent used incorrectly may damage the appliance. Always let the appliance cool before cleaning. Some cooking operations generate a considerable amount of grease. This, combined with spillage, can become a hazard if allowed to accumulate on the cooker through lack of cleaning. In extreme cases this may amount to misuse of the appliance and could invalidate your guarantee. It is recommended that the appliance is cleaned after open roasting. Do not use caustic pastes, abrasive cleaning powders, coarse wire wool or any hard implements, as they will damage the surfaces. All parts of the hob can be safely cleaned with a cloth wrung out in hot soapy water. Chrome plated parts OVEN SHELVES & OVEN SHELF RUNNERS, GRILL PAN TRIVET Do not use abrasives or polishes, use a moist soap pad - eg; Brillo. Oven shelf runners can be removed for cleaning. Grasp the runners, and slide out of the hanging holes as shown. Note: These items may also be cleaned in a dishwasher. Vitreous Enamel parts GRILL PAN, TOP OVEN / GRILL COMPARTMENT, MAIN OVEN COMPARTMENT BASE Use a mild cream cleaner - eg; Cif. Stubborn marks may be removed with a moistened Brillo pad. The pan supports and grill pan may be cleaned in a dishwasher, or with a nylon brush in hot soapy water. Easy care surfaces (if fitted) MAIN OVEN SIDES AND BACK We recommend that the appliance is cleaned after open roasting, and also after roasting at temperatures higher than 200 C, to help prevent a build up of fats. Use of a trivet in a roasting tin when roasting will help reduce fat splashing. Caution: Most types of cleaning agent will damage these surfaces. Only use a few drops of washing up liquid in hot water. Wipe the surfaces with a clean cloth wrung out in hot soapy water - if larger splashes of fat do not readily disappear, scrub the area with a nylon brush or nylon pan scourer and hot soapy water. Rinse well and heat the oven to dry the surfaces. Painted, plastic & metal finish parts (if fitted) DOOR HANDLE, FACIA PANEL & CONTROL KNOBS Only use a clean cloth wrung out in hot soapy water. 19

22 SN EC600 - RS2 03/03/ :31 Page 22 Cleaning Glass parts (if fitted) GLASS DOORS Do not use abrasives or polishes as they will scratch and damage the glass. Use a mild cream cleaner - eg; Cif. Rinse away excess cleaner and dry with a soft cloth. The oven door inner glass panel (if fitted) can be removed for cleaning by grasping the top and bottom edges and sliding out. When refitting, take care that the glass is held level and straight with the grooves in the door, before sliding back in. Ceramic glass hotplate Do not use abrasive powder cleaners, Brillo pads, metal wire, detergents, bleaches, bath stain removers, or chemical oven cleaners; all these product types will damage the ceramic glass. The following recommendations will help to keep the ceramic glass surface bright and clean. Allow the hob to cool. Use a dampened paper towel or clean damp cloth to apply a small dab of cleaner conditioner to clean each heating area. Use another paper towel or a clean dry soft cloth to wipe dry, and then polish the whole glass surface. To remove any stubborn marks or heavy soiling, a non scratching, mild cream cleaner may be used - eg; Cif. Alternatively, a ceramic hob scraper may be used (available from Homecare*). Important: If you use a wet paper towel or clean damp cloth to remove spillage from a warm heating area of the hob, be careful to avoid steam burns. 20 Care and maintenance Before using the hob for the first time, apply a thin coating of cleaner conditioner (eg; Hob Brite, by Homecare*) to the ceramic glass, and polish the surface with a clean cloth. The conditioner gives a protective covering to the ceramic glass which not only makes the hob easier to clean, but also ensures that you will gain maximum life out of this product. Occasional use will help prevent the build up of mineral deposits which can cause discolouration of the hob surface. Discolouration of the hob Do not use a dishcloth or dish sponge to wipe the hob - this can leave a film of detergent on the surface which will discolour the hob next time a heating area is used. Clean cloths kept for the cleaning of the hob can be used. Do not use too much cleaner conditioner - only a thin coating is required, any excess may burn on and discolour the hob when it is next in use. If persistent stains or marks remain on the ceramic glass surface, it can be cleaned using a mild cream cleaner - eg; Cif - or a ceramic hob scraper. This will also remove any accumulated salts or minerals before they have an opportunity to discolour the ceramic glass.
